“Since I work for Vital-Office as an architect I am dealing a lot with the grenn bamboo material and develop many green office concepts, also for large international corporations. Within this job I ask myself, what exactly is this attraction of bamboo material?”
Of course, there are important issues such as sustainability, overall very valuable contribution to the environment and also it‘s authentic naturalness. Just to name a few. But bamboo is mainly a very nice, elegant and aesthetic material that has a very superior appeal.
Therefore, it deserves a careful crafting. It shall not simply be cut and fitted with a straight edge, but rather modeled as a sculpture. This helps to create architecturally proportioned tops, which again vary in effect and grace through differently shaped and profiled edges.
Bamboo is aging with dignity. If once getting on in years, it retains its beautiful, aesthetic and natural coloring and does not loose its good-looking, because of exposure to the sun, which e.g. gives other woods a yellow tinge. Also, humidity it can put away well and responds with less shrinkage and expansion than other woods. Looking at it more from a technical perspective, we know that no other natural material is more elasticity, hard and strong, which is combined with exceptionally low weight.
Only the interplay of all these details, impress consciously and unconsciously upon the user. An overall composition that is authentic, consistent and of appreciated high quality. Bamboo is with all its features a very modern, authentic and noble material.
Dipl. Ing. (Architecture) Petra Bodenburg:
Feng Shui masters value bamboo as energetically auspicious material. This is confirmed by scientific research.
As electrical equipment, such as computers, emit positive oxygen ions (in this case, harmful), so bamboo emits healthy (negative charged ion). And that, in an amount that far exceeds all other woods The measured values in a bamboo forest are at 10,000 m³ / a, in a normal forest 5000, in a park 1.800 and in closed rooms under 200.
Major green features are the fast-growing raw material that grows in only 5 years. Actually a bamboo grows from sprout in just 2 years to full size. Then it takes 3 years, until the wood has hardened. Thus, the bamboo plant is ripe for the harvesting or it will be broken in the next few years in a natural way by storm. Within 5 years enough sprouts have grown to replace, it is a natural selection. In fact, 25% of a bamboo forest can be harvested every year without compromising the nature in any way.
If we compare Bamboo with regional woods such as pine, beech or oak, then bamboo is much more environmental friendly in many points:
Bamboo is a perfect example of a green product - sustainable, environmental friendly and as hard as German oak. Due to its extremely rapid growth of only 5 years, it binds huge amounts of carbon dioxide and producing more oxygen than most other plants. There are also amazing material properties:
Bamboo combines extreme hardness and high compressive and tensile strength with high elasticity and low weight. The high silicate content of the outer layers of bamboo ensures that the pipes are flame resistant. “ (Ref.: http://www.faz.net/aktuell/technik-motor/umwelt-technik/bauen-mit-bambus-aussen-hart-innen-hohl-und-dabei-hoechst-flexibel-1306694.html)
Essential for the sustainable usage is the manufacturing process.
Vital-Office uses oiled solid wood tops that can be easily repaired if scratched during use. The thickness of the solid wood makes it easy for everyone to sand away scratches and re oil the surface.In comparison, veneered panels have only a thin veneer of 0.5mm and are usually protected by lacquer (similar to a plastic coating). Scratches and damages are logically not removable and the product is disposed more quickly.
